Why were Jewish people reluctant to leave Germany?

The majority of German Jews had lived in Germany (the German states) for a very long time, were highly assimilated into German society and most of them loved the country deeply ... It turned into a truly tragic love affair for some. For some of the most highly integrated German Jews, especially in places like Berlin (where Jews were quite popular) it was very hard to understand what was really happening. Moreover, one had to have somewhere and something (if possible a job) to go to, and at that time - the Great Depression - most countries were very reluctant to admit many foreigners.
